While without a doubt the internet has made it easier to search for jobs-from such general job-seeking sites as Monster.com to more specialized ones such as JournalismJobs.com-it has also, in some cases, made it more difficult for someone to get hired. According to a survey released in April by CareerBuilder, LLC, nearly 2 in 5 companies use social networking sites to research job candidates. And a March survey from Eurocom Worldwide shows that 1 in 5 technology industry executives admit to rejecting an applicant based on his or her social media profile.

This report presents new research into the use and benefits of IAM and the relationship it has with these three drivers. The research is based on over three hundred interviews with senior IT managers in medium sized to large organisations in a range of business sectors across Europe. The report should be of interest to anyone wanting to better serve all types of users, whilst still keeping control over applications and data.

For most companies, Active Directory (AD) or LDAP and play the central role in coordinating identity and access management policies. Directory integration typically serves as a "source of truth" for user identities, and it provides access control to on-premises resources such as networks, file servers, and web applications. A byproduct of the transition to cloud applications is the proliferation of separate user stores; each cloud application typically is rolled out independently and therefore has its own unique database of user credentials. Okta's cloud-based identity and access management service solves these problems with a single integration point that provides a highly available solution for all cloud and web-based application Active Directory integrations.

The shift to the cloud is changing how companies think about their IT infrastructure and what they must do to manage it. The on-demand applications and services that comprise a cloud services network enable companies to rapidly deploy powerful capabilities to a broad set of users at very low costs. However, they also introduce challenges associated with securing and controlling users and access, simplifying adoption and scaling of these applications, and providing insight into utilization to ensure the business is optimizing its cloud investments. Okta’s on-demand identity management service enables companies to address these challenges head-on by being designed from the ground up as a scalable, secure, multi-tenant service that protects your data through centralized access control.

In today’s mixed on-premises and cloud IT environment, securing one network perimeter is not enough. This paper examines six common risks of this “perimeterless” world, and proposes six opportunities to strengthen security using Identity-as-a-Service.

In the great Internet of Things (IoT) gold rush, early adopters have largely left behind identity and access management. As a result, many organizations are scrambling to deal with the consequences. Successful IoT implementations have complex relationships to people, things, and services, and the only sustainable and secure method for securing the IoT long term is to enable persistent identity across applications, devices, and things.

In today’s computing world, the nature of the network perimeter has changed. The threat of data breaches is growing, and CIOs are faced with the monumental challenge of securing information wherever it resides without interfering with the productivity of the increasingly mobile and connected workforce. In this webinar, we’ll review the current landscape of security challenges and the best ways to address them with Identity as a Service.

This white paper examines the challenges of migrating NIS deployments to a central repository, and explains in detail how a combination of Microsoft Active Directory and Centrify DirectControl can deliver a cost-effective solution that strengthens security while improving IT efficiency.

Traditional web applications pre-date modern standards like SAML and OpenIDConnect, so they often use legacy authentication methods to grant end users access. Historically, providing Single Sign-On and centralized access management for end users across these legacy applications required a Web Access Management, or WAM, product. These on-premises software tools could be expensive to maintain and complex to deploy. Now, modern identity providers like Okta in conjunction with best-of-breed network management technologies offer a better way. This white paper describes how web applications that lack modern standard support can be integrated into a cloud-based Identity-as-a-service architecture.

Digital certificates have emerged to serve as the trust foundation for identities, communication, transactions and information security due to their flexibility in terms of deployment and their high level of inherent security.
Entrust IdentityGuard Cloud Services provide digital certificate and identity management solutions that bring together all certificate services, tools and security under a single cloud-based service. It’s a simple, strong and easy solution to issue and manage identities through their lifecycle via the cloud.

Digital certificates have emerged to serve as the trust foundation for identities, communication, transactions and information security due to their flexibility in terms of deployment and their high level of inherent security.

With every new data breach revealed or costly identity-theft case reported, confidence in data security and the protection of private identity information transactions — and overall trust — erodes. This loss of confidence in online services and reputation can have a direct impact on trust from end-users, customers, employees, partners, vendors and more.
With significant advances in criminal threats — both in sophistication and sheer frequency — all enterprises are urged to bolster defenses, authenticate digital identities and safeguard sensitive information.
Entrust offers five specific best practices — with emphasis on strong authentication, identity assurance, mobile enablement and general layered security — that can help protect against targeted attacks now and over the long term.

With more and more dependency on mobile and cloud, digital enablement is key to business success. Now IT has an increased impact on how to drive strategy and implementation to reach business goals.
But the reality of distributed applications and connected devices has introduced new security challenges. To secure information and provide users seamless access to data, you need to reevaluate your approach to authentication. You need a modern authentication solution that is agile and secure, enabling your digital transformation.
This buyer's guide will help you determine whether a cloud-based multi-factor authentication solution is right for your organization and details the top features to look for in an authentication solution to securely enable your digital transformation.
